Pretreatment using celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase (COX) 2 inhibitor, or indomethacin, a nonselective COX inhibitor, reduced lypopolyssaccharide (LPS)-induced leukocyte migration to the rat peritoneal cavity. The effect of celecoxib (12 mg/kg) or indomethacin (2 mg/kg) on neutrophil chemotaxis induced by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) in an in vitro chemotactic assay (Boyden chamber) was investigated. Celecoxib and indomethacin inhibited chemotaxis induced by FMLP (Control=26.6+/-1.45, Celecoxib=12.8+/-3.04, Indomethacin=6.26+/-2.19 cells/field). When observed under intravital microscopy, a mouse cremaster preparation was used to assess the microvasculature to further investigate which step of cell recruitment was affected by these drugs. Celecoxib and indomethacin inhibited leukocyte migration induced by 0.05 microg/kg LPS injected into the cremaster muscle. However, the effect of celecoxib was associated with reduced cell rolling and adhesion, whereas indomethacin was only effective at inhibiting cell adhesion. Furthermore, SC560 pretreatment (a COX-1 selective inhibitor) of normal or LPS-challenged tissues did not alter leukocyte migration or cell adhesion, but it did enhance leukocyte rolling activity in both cases. Taken together, these results indicate that: 1) COX-1 activity is mainly related to leukocyte traffic under physiological conditions, and 2) COX-2 activity is mainly related to cell traffic under inflammatory conditions in vascular beds, suggesting a possible effect of selective COX-2 inhibitors on the expression of adhesion molecules.
